I love animals. Dogs and cats and the like. All the animals we let into our lives. The ones we share the most intimate moments with. The intersection between humans and animals has a profound impact on our world. It can be death and horror as is demonstrated in our factory farming of animals for food. Or it can be unconditional love and support as demonstrated with the bonds we form with… Read More

I love it when our communities are active and doing things. I don’t get out and create this type of imagery as much as I used to, but highlighting people in the community and the events and activities going on can have a powerful impact. I used to go to local events more often and bring my camera to photograph them. Local street painting festivals. Suicide awareness and support events. Events hosted… Read More

Every once in a while I will create more conventional portrait style photographs. This usually happens around family gatherings. Events where people are involved in one thing or another and I can be off to the side and point my camera at them without them being so aware of it. I generally create candid style images. I just like to see how someone is naturally responding to a situation. Life doesn’t happen… Read More

My art centers around nature. The motto of my business is The Foundation of All Things Natural. With those defining characteristics I find my work taking many different avenues. But what ties it all together most often is this feeling of the natural. There isn’t much I don’t find interesting or beautiful about photography. But there are certain things that I am not particularly drawn to myself in my work as a… Read More

Last week I said that I wasn’t a photographer who photographed people. I made that statement even though all the photographs last week featured people. I am going to make the same statement this week to. And maybe I should make a caveat. Or maybe this is an admission. I am a photographer who photographs people. I just don’t photograph people in the traditional sense many people might think of. Headshots and… Read More

I am not a traditional event photographer. I don’t specialize in event photography. And I definitely don’t go out to huge venues to photograph big events everyone has heard of. What I love is being at small local events that are important to our community. There are so many things that go on in our communities that often goes unremarked on or uncelebrated. I really like to try and capture these moments… Read More

Every once in a while I have opportunities to create photographs that are outside my normal. I love photographing events. Some of the local events I have photographed have featured live music. I really enjoy photographing people sharing their craft with others. Watching and photographing people doing something they enjoy is a lot of fun. It was interesting how the contrast between the bright sunlit outdoor area in the background and the… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 275. Had a fun busy day today. Ran a half marathon in the morning. In the afternoon attended and volunteered at the Annual meeting of the Friends of the Chemung River Watershed Fun event. Music. Dinner. Roast and Toast. More Music. And maybe a moment for the ED to sit and relax for a minute when all is said and done.

As you have been reading this series of articles about the different tools I use in service of creating my photography I am sure it is becoming clear that all the gear I use serves a purpose. This continues to hold true for the next piece of equipment I will discuss. The only difference is that with this tool always plan in advance to use this tool on a photo shoot.
